Well, it's been a wild ride this time around, but our Block Party 2012-13 has come to an end.
This event was a HUGE success with 552 quarter blocks returned to me. 5 very large quilts have been made and you can see them posted below.
It is with heartfelt gratitude that the response to this project has been increasing in size each time we get together to have a "Block Party" for our friends at Quilt for a Cause, Inc.
Cancer has affected all of us in some way. It is with great HOPE that some day this horrible disease will no longer affect anyone we love. We have FAITH that the work we do here will help. We will continue to have the COURAGE and LOVE in our hearts to work together until one day we find a CURE.
It is with those sentiments that the 5 quilts that were made have been named: Hope, Faith, Courage, Love, Cure
FAITH 84 x 100 inches
HOPE 73 x 94 inches
COURAGE 85 x 90 inches
LOVE 90 x 90 inches
CURE 88 x 94 inches
Because each person made 1/4 sections they did not sew them together before sending them to me. Each 1/4 section was sewn together with others that came in so the label for each of the 5 quilts will have everyone's name on it as shown below. The name of the Quilt and the Size of the Quilt will also be on the label.
Katherine Christenson - 2 quilts
Cathy Leitner - 2 quilts
All
quilts from around the globe that have been donated for this project can be seen
on the Quilts for a Cause website.

I
want to take a moment to say a very special thank you to all the machine
quilters that donated their time and batting to this project.

I
would also like to say a special thank you to my sister in law, Donna Phillips,
for helping me stitch all these quilts together.
Also,
to Donna and my friend, Carol Crago, for helping me stitch the bindings down.
It was great fun visiting with these gals while we stitched.
God Bless
everyone that helped on this project that is so near and dear to all of
us. Please pat yourselves on the back for a JOB WELL DONE! Until next time,
Lynda
